Deutsche ReGas: Mukran FSRU was Germany’s busiest LNG terminal in Q4

In December 2025, the LNG “Deutsche Ostsee” was once again the most important LNG feed-in point in Germany, according to a statment by Deutsche ReGas.

Overall, Deutsche ReGas sent out the largest volume of gas of all German LNG terminals by far over the entire fourth quarter, the company said.

Within the past three months, Deutsche ReGas accounted for around two-thirds of the feed-in capacity of the four other floating LNG terminals in Germany.

With 12.53 TWh, approximately 15 percent of the average quarterly gas consumption of all
German households and commercial customers was sent into the grid from Mukran during
the past quarter, Deutsche ReGas said.

Of this total, 4.24 TWh was attributable to December.

“By achieving the highest sendout performance among German LNG terminals in the second and fourth quarters of 2025, we are fulfilling our responsibility for security of supply,” Ingo Wagner, CEO of Deutsche ReGas, said.

“I would like to expressly thank our customers, who began weekly ship calls even before the start of the heating season and thereby ensured high utilization of our energy terminal,” he said.

It is worth noting here that the 170,000-cbm FSRU Hoegh Gannet, which serves the Elbehafen LNG import terminal in Germany’s Brunsbüttel, was offline due to a yard visit from September 18 until the middle of November.

In addition, state-owned DET also conducted maintenance at the second Wilhelmshaven FSRU-based facility in October, and minor maintenance at the first Wilhelmshaven facility in October.

Second FSRU

Last month, a spokesman for Deutsche ReGas told LNG Prime that the company was running a tender process to bring back a second floating storage and regasification unit at its LNG import facility in Mukran.

The Mukran LNG terminal currently consists of the 2009-built 145,000-cbm, FSRU Neptune, after Deutsche ReGas terminated the charter contract for the 174,000-cbm FSRU Energos Power with the German government.

The FSRU Neptune is 50 percent owned by Hoegh Evi and sub-chartered by Deutsche ReGas from French energy giant TotalEnergies, who also holds capacity rights at the Mukran facility along with trader MET.

In June, Deutsche ReGas and Germany’s Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy reached a mutual agreement on resolving the sub-charter agreement for the FSRU Energos Power.
